Cosmos premiers tonight at 9 on Fox.
Watching one of the originals with Sagan right now to warm up.
It's so weird to see this on fox.
The missus is gonna watch "Cosmos" with me. It better be good or I'll never hear the end of it.
It'll be okay unless NDT goes full blown narcissist. Which has been known to happen.
I sort of thought the same thing, but FOX is more about making money than anything else (contrast FOX news with Family Guy) and this is cable channel fodder for years. I'm watching it on the Nat Geo channel.
How is it?
I enjoyed it, I liked the nod to Sagan at the end.Obama introduction? Oh that's cool, inspire people to be scientists and astronomers. NOW HOW ABOUT YOU FUND freakING NASA!
If Russia starts the cold war again. Or maybe China starting to do moon missions or something.
Seth MacFarlane being a producer for it probably also has something to due with Fox showing it.
Science on Fox? Wat?
I found it surprising too. Host even mentioned "natural selection" as a topic to be covered in a future episode.And then he advanced the preposterous theory that the earth was created more than 10,000 years ago. Outrageous.
FWIW, seems they might have exaggerated giordano bruno's historical record:http://www.science20.com/science_20/blog/cosmos_spacetime_odyssey_review-131240But NGT did note that Bruno wasn't a scientist.
